Rockstar Wants To Run Red Dead Cheaters Out Of Town

Rockstar has plans to reduce the number of dirty, stinkin' cheaters making merry in Red Dead Redemption's multiplayer modes, with a planned update heading to Xbox 360 and PS3 "within the next month."

This update will contain "new features to counter against the isolated incidents of abuse that go on" and "measures to counter hacking and cheating." Anybody still found to be unquestionably cheating will be banned by Rockstar "for a period of our discretion."

Changes are also afoot in Free Roam mode. "Those who are being bullied repeatedly in Free Roam will be given the option to flee by Transporting and respawning," says the Rockstar news release "And those who are bullying repeatedly will face a new challenge: when a player gets a 6 kill streak in Free Roam, they will become "Most Wanted." This alerts other players of their status as a player-killer, and also sends NPC law response after them."
